SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — A man’s body that was found in the water along San Francisco’s Embarcadero Wednesday morning has been identified as that of Los Angeles Dodgers fan Victor Murillo, 27, who went missing after a baseball game last week.

The San Francisco medical examiner’s office confirmed the man’s identity Wednesday afternoon, and said an investigation into the cause of death was under way.

Murillo and his friend had just come from AT&T Park and were at the pier when his friend looked away momentarily. When the friend looked back, Murillo was no longer on the pier, U.S. Coast Guard officials said.

The Coast Guard and San Francisco firefighters scoured the Bay for signs of Murillo but were unable to find him.
